Microsoft Azure Developer Associate AZ-204 Practice Question

Session consistency provides read-your-writes, monotonic reads, monotonic writes, and write-follows-reads guarantees within a single client session, so a user always sees their own latest cart changes. Because the guarantee is scoped to the session, the database can serve reads from the nearest replica, keeping latency low. Strong consistency would satisfy all users but incurs the highest latency across regions. Bounded staleness limits lag to a configured window but does not guarantee that a read immediately reflects the caller's last write. Consistent prefix preserves the order of writes yet can still return data that is missing the most recent update, violating the requirement.
